Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson

  • The 2018 Masters kicks off on Thursday with first-round action from Augusta National.
  • Below is a look at the tee times for the big names everybody should be following.


The 2018 Masters gets under way Thursday morning.

While Augusta National is notoriously stingy with the amount of the tournament that can be viewed on television, there has been more online coverage in recent years. You can find a Masters television schedule here, and an online viewing schedule here.

Here are the first-round tee times for the names everybody should be following (all times Eastern):

8:52 a.m. - Mike Weir, Brendan Steele, *Matt Parziale (Parziale is a firefighter from Brockton, MA, who qualified by winning the US Mid-Amateur)
9:03 a.m. - Jose Maria Olazabal, Kevin Chappell, Dylan Frittelli (Olazábal is a 2-time winner of the Masters; Chappell is a longshot to watch for)
9:14 a.m. - Bryson DeChambeau, Bernd Wiesberger, Matthew Fitzpatrick (DeChambeau was low-amateur in 2016 and is in his first Masters as a pro)
9:36 a.m. - Vijay Singh, Satoshi Kodaira, Daniel Berger (Singh is a 3-time major-winner, including the 2010 Masters)
9:47 a.m. - Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Pat Perez, Francesco Molinari (Aphibarnrat is a Thai golfer who finished 5th at the last two WGC events)
9:58 a.m. - Danny Willett, Kyle Stanley, Jason Dufner (Willett won the 2016 Masters; Everybody loves Dufner)
10:09 a.m. - Hideki Matsuyama, Patton Kizzire, Paul Casey (Casey has finished 6th or better the last 3 years at Augusta; Matsuyama is one of the best golfers in the world without a major win)
10:31 a.m. - Zach Johnson, Martin Kaymer, Branden Grace (Johnson is a previous Masters winner; Kaymer is a 2-time major winner)
10:42 a.m. - Tiger Woods, Marc Leishman, Tommy Fleetwood (Woods has won the Masters 4 times; Fleetwood was the 36-hole leader at the 2017 US Open and wears his hair long because he is afraid to go bald)

11:15 a.m. - Patrick Reed, Charley Hoffman, Adam Hadwin (Reed is quickly turning into the golfer fans either love or hate, in part because he wears red on Sundays like Tiger; Hoffman was the 18-, and 36-hole leader at the 2017 Masters)
11:48 a.m. - Trevor Immelman, Ian Poulter, Patrick Cantlay (Poulter didn't have an invite to the Master until winning last week's Houston Open)
